HGH (Human Growth Hormone) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and is located at the base of a person's brain and is responsible for the growth and health of cells in practically every part of our body. As we age the levels of HGH decline and the most common signs of aging associated with this are wrinkles, thinning hair, loss of muscle tone as well as decrease in our mental and sexual functions. In recent studies carried out it has been suggested that HGH injections can slow and even reverse some of the signs of aging so effectively you are turning back the clock of time.

Studies carried out on HGH injections have shown that there is an increase in a person's lean muscle mass, a decrease in body fat, and that they become more alert, sleep better, their mental functions become sharpened, their sexual performance becomes increased, their vision improves and they have more youthful looking skin.

Unfortunately the cost of these injections can be quite costly (sometimes costing of $20,000 per year) and you will need to have a doctor's prescription so because of this cost more and more people are looking at alternative HGH therapies such as pills, sprays and powders which are claimed to increase the body's natural production of HGH. But medical studies carried out have yielded mixed results on the effectiveness of these therapies and so the surest way to achieve the desired effect that you are looking for is to have the injections.

But if you can't afford HGH injections then perhaps the best thing to do is review your diet (cut out all the bad foods which contain fats and salts) and increase the amount of fiber you have in your diet. It is especially good to increase the amount of green vegetables and fruit that you eat. Plus it is also important that you start some form of exercise regime as well as including vitamins and supplements in to your diet.

These dietary and lifestyle changes will help with all the same things the injections help with and can cause you to fell a lot better and even look younger.
